The 4-H reunion is shaping up for the 2018 Story County Fair. It is set for Sunday, July 22, 2-4 p.m. in Christy 4-H Hall, located at Second Street and H Avenue in Nevada. The program will begin at 2:15 p.m. Vanessa Burnett, a 4-H alum, will be the emcee. This year, the program will honor individuals who are or were Story County Extension Council members. The first Extension Council was formed in 1955 with 16 elected members, one repre-
senting each township. Several years later, the membership changed to nine members elected by the Story County voters. The council is in partnership with Iowa State University, entrusted to bring research-based information to the citizens of Story County. Among its many responsibilities are hiring and evaluating staff; establishing and maintaining a budget; identifying the needs of public and private enterprises, families, and communities in the county; and overseeing the planning,
preparation, marketing, delivery, and assessment of the Story County Extension educational program. We encourage you to join the celebration. Printed programs will be available. They will list the council members, both past and present. Other parts of the program include 4-H’er, Lindsay Donnelly, who will share what excites her about her 4-H experience; the introduction of the 2018 4-H Hall of Fame honoree; as well as announcing the 4-H Alum of the Year. Also, those who entered the
4-H’ers in Action Contest will be recognized. This year, the Story County 4-H Foundation board will recognize both scholarships and grant recipients. There will be time to browse through the Story County 4-H History display in the meeting room next to Christy 4-H Hall. You will find clippings and pictures featuring people you have known. Anyone who enjoys talking about 4-H, both the past and the present, will enjoy this afternoon. Refreshments are courtesy of Story Bank and Trust.
